I was reading a few of the dialogues and getting more and more concerned.
Seems we like to cloak what we do inside a false illusion of serving some public good.
Cdn. Farmers are in business to sell things for a profit not "to feed a hungry world".
If we want to help countries we should help them grow their own food instead of destroying their local ag economies by dumping in our products for free as food aid.
We need to teach people to fish, don't destroy their nets and give them free fish! and then wonder why they develop a
culture of entitlement.
We are in the selling business and if 25 % of todays households spend 75 % of the $ spent on food I want those people as my customers, not the ones who cannot pay or will not pay because they would rather eat granola.
I want hungry meat eaters with too much money to buy my products and I can donate a portion of my earnings to the food banks or to help combat world hunger for the less fortunate rather than becoming one myself by selling cereal grains to the lowest paying customers.
Last time I looked cows did a pretty good job of turning grass into something edible. (I know you can smoke some kinds of grass but otherwise it is a wasted resource as far as human food goes).
